Westmoreland Fall Camping Trip/Virginia

 TJWSANTAFE
TJWSANTAFE,
 
    We got the a call from the park also.. They stated they had lots of damage. Would be closed at lease a month or better. So plans have change again. Not sure what yet, but seems like every time I try to link up with some club members it falls apart somehow. Happy Camping !!!

We are pretty disappointed[]
 
 Our friends who were to come have a tree still resting on their house...so they have been " camping"  for days!!!![][]
 
 We looked around messages and decided to " barge"   (sorta), in on the folks going to Hickory Run State Park in Pennsylvania this week.  We are determined to put some names with some faces!!!!!![][][]  " Hersheygirl"  made the mistake of wondering if anyone who was going to Westmoreland would now join them.....so with the help of " Tracy" .....we decided to take the plunge!![]

Hey everybody - I m finally hooked to a computer via a generator. Chesterfield County took a direct hit from Isabel...and I haven t had power or water since Thursday.  My house is okay - but the dead end road I live on is a mess. It took 4 men with chainsaws almost 3 hours Friday just to make a narrow vehicle " path"  - and it is still untouched and probably will be like that at least another week. I don t miss the power much (we are using Earls generator), but not having water is a pain.  
 
 I talked to Westmoreland yesterday, and they lost all of the boat dock, had heavy flood damage to the River Retreat Conference Center, and had 6 cabins destroyed by trees.  Of all our parks, they were probably hit the hardest - though Pocahontas has to be a close second. Here, they say we may not get power until next week. I ve been here over 20 years - and I have never seen our lake as high or as swift as it was last weekend.  
 
 Cancelling this trip was especially disappointing for Earl and I - we were considering it our " honeymoon"  - since we were not able to go anywhere last weekend because of Isabel.  The wedding on the 13th went wonderful - except it rained, and we had to have it inside the church.
 
 Ever get the feeling of a gray cloud over your head?  I m there...believe me!

 Louise, first we would like to wish you and Earl a BIG congratulations on your wedding. We re sorry to hear about all of the sad news from the hurricane and about the damage that was left behind.
 
 We hope to see you and many of our PUT friends at a campground in the near future. I guess the dangling cans and the  Don t come a knockin, if this campers a Rockin  sign will have to wait to we see you again! []
 
 Good luck!
